Schick long-ranger, best of 'em all
The Czech striker's 45.45 metre goal voted best by 800k
SWITZERLAND: Czech Republic striker Patrik Schick's stunning long-range effort against Scotland in the Euro 2020 group stage has been voted the tournament's goal, announced UEFA.
Schick fired a curling, looping effort from just inside the Scotland half to find the back of the net after spotting goalkeeper David Marshall stranded far off his line.
The Bayer Leverkusen striker's effort was officially the furthest recorded distance from which a goal was scored at the Euros, at 49.7 yards (45.45 m).
